Answer:

  x = 9

  x+7 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles in this geometry are similar, so the ratios of corresponding sides are proportional.

  long side/short side = (x+7)/12 = 12/x

  x(x +7) = 12²

  x +7x -144 = 0 . . . . . subtract 144 to put in standard form

  (x +16)(x -9) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 9 . . . . . . only the positive solution is useful here

The missing lengths are ...

  • x = DC = 9
  • x+7 = DA = 16
